"What is wrong with you?!" Oscope Labs & Factory 25 has debuted an official trailer for an indie satirical comedy titled The Misogynists, the latest from filmmaker Onur Tukel. This premiered at a few smaller film festivals in 2017, but has been quietly awaiting release ever since. Mostly because it's about two assholes and comes with a title as blatant as "The Misogynists". In a single, fully-stocked hotel room on the night of the 2016 general election, two Trump supporters celebrate the results. "Led by Dylan Baker's gleefully deranged performance, Tukel's tongue-in-cheek exploration of a divided America digs deep into the night's mass existential crisis and uncovers some disquieting truths." In addition to Dylan Baker, this also stars Trieste Kelly Dunn, Ivana Milicevic, Lou Jay Taylor, Matt Walton, Christine Campbell, Nana Mensah, Rudy De La Cruz, Cynthia Thomas, Darrill Rosen, Karl Jacob, and Matt Hopkins. "The makers of this film would like to...

Shaggy Manhattan auteur Onur Tukel’s latest film isn’t entirely new: Originally conceived as an ongoing TV series, “Black Magic for White Boys” premiered at Tribeca a couple of years ago as several preliminary episodes. But when prospects didn’t pan out in that format, he shot additional footage to create the current feature. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the result still has a loose, episodic feel, with a somewhat casual attitude toward the concept of “narrative arc” — qualities not at all at odds with Tukel’s prior output.
This ensemble comedy with a silly supernatural angle, centered on a decrepit Off Off Broadway theater, won’t be its maker’s belated breakthrough. But for those who grok his amiably misanthropic, offhand brand of humor, it will comprise another satisfyingly idiosyncratic chapter in a singular career that carries forward a trail previously blazed by the likes of Woody Allen, Henry Jaglom and...

Largely set in a hotel room on election night 2016, Onur Tukel’s The Misogynists is a nasty piece of business. Perhaps the director’s most no holds barred picture yet, it expresses the anxieties and political division of the Trump era. While narrative and documentary filmmakers are still grappling with the post-truth era in which the country is ruled by a kleptocracy, Tukel, like Tyler Perry, had the major advantage of prolificness. The eccentric and eclectic filmmaker releases at least a film a year, in addition to writing and starring in his friend’s films, including Infinity Baby and Booger Red.
The set-up here is simple: two colleagues get together for a coke- and tequila-fueled bender in a luxury hotel room that Cameron (Dylan Baker at his creepiest since Happiness) has been living in since his divorce. He’s joined by a frequent Tukel collaborator, here credited as Lou Jay Taylor...
